The House You're Raised In Lyrics

Husked

Depleted, maybe near death

Tremble

Gyrate, no energy left

Slip

Behind like salt over shoulder

Fucked

Language and countenance change

"I make everything worse"

"No you don't"

"Please," I repeat / beg you

"Do not go"

Do you dwell outside my window, low?

Small enough to live under the snow?

But the snow forts they are gone

The nostalgia, it is gone

I'm a husk now, mostly gone, we knew this

Gone - supermarket joy is gone

Those two children have moved on

If I fade out, play it on - you have to

Get good at turning around before the road ends

When he walked into the room

And you said "Dad! How are you"

And he pushed you to the wall

He said "You're in my way"

You would feel that way for life

That's not something you forget

Just a few words he'd regret

Child ripped from play

If a house could be alive

Then it was that summer night

When you got all of your things

Out of his way

As the road comes to an end

So do words of broken men

They can't keep you in the house

You're raised in

Raised in
